Mom and girls | Utah Family Photographer

I love what I do. I had the great opportunity this week to meet up with Heather and her three amazing, beautiful daughters. I've known Heather for, well, almost as far back as I can remember. She was one of my older sister's best friends in high school. One of the things I always remembered about Heather was her gorgeous eyes, and her sweeter than sugar giggle. It's been fun catching up from time to time as adults after children and life happens and I'm consistently amazed with her strength and her beauty. It's such a great blessing to be able to photograph such sweet, fun relationships like the one these girls have with their mother.

We started our session with some mother/daughter shots, got a few of the girls and some of Heather (I told her to be sexy for her boyfriend, but she just giggled and covered her mouth...the Heather I know and love!), and ended the session with a water balloon fight. I'm breaking this up into two posts because, well, I couldn't narrow down what to show you, and I didn't want to overwhelm! So, the water balloon fight will come in the next couple of days. It was SO fun, so make sure to come back.

Adoption | Utah Family Photographer

It was time for family pictures again, and what a perfect time. Anthony and Candice and family just finalized their adoption of little Miss M. She is theirs and they are THRILLED! The boys are so in love with their little sister, and I cannot blame them, she is adorable. She makes their family whole.

Cinderella | Utah Child Photographer

I've said it time and time again, but I really do have the most amazing clients. I've been so privileged to get to know so many different people and feel blessed that some have become my friends. I treasure getting to peek into their lives so that I can capture who they are and what they love.

When I first photographed this client a couple of years ago, I was so surprised to learn that she has her own business doing princess parties! Are you kidding me? Is that not the coolest thing? Ever? I was so sad that my little girl was only a baby then! But we've stayed in touch and I had the opportunity to do some head shots for her as Snow White. Since then she added Cinderella to her resume, and I just knew this was the perfect year to have her do my daughter's birthday party. Cinderella was so fabulous. She ran the entire event, from sending out invitations, to bringing the cake and lunch! She sang songs, read stories, gave manners lessons and even did a craft and balloon tying with the girls. She was the *perfect* princess the entire time, and I think that the parents enjoyed the party as much as the girls did!

Make sure to check out her website here! Tell her I sent you! And if any of you order the horse and carriage, invite me to the party too. Pretty please!?!

Geo | Utah baby photographer

I love him! I love him! I love him!

And this in BW too, because I can't decide which I like more.

Out of Town

My family and I are taking a quick vacation for the weekend. I will return all emails and voicemails when I return.

Sleepy

My babies...one was falling asleep while the other was waking up from a late afternoon nap on the rug. The light was falling in and I couldn't help but catch that moment.
